misc feature request: line comment on gutter click #2996
Description
as I am working with queries I often put different criteria on different lines
then just comment them out as I switch between them for various tasks
select count(distinct(guid)) as g, count(guid) as c from main WHERE
`group`=11
--submit like "%xxx%" and `group`=0
it would be super handy to have the gutter click event toggle a line comment prefix --
just a random idea

Seems like a good idea. I don't know if the text editor widget control thingy would recognise a gutter-click, but I guess it would. Could be a useful feature.

I guess technically its the SCN_MARGINCLICK scintinilla message. Example VB6 handler here:

edit:
looks like it is broken out in qsciscintilla.cpp
sqlitebrowser/libs/qscintilla/Qt4Qt5/qsciscintilla.cpp

Well, the code is already there to do the comment and uncommenting - a button does it already (or pressing Ctrl+/ ) so on a double-click, it just has to push the button too.

aghh the ctrl/ is pretty great, and never noticed the comment button. awesome thanks
I also appreciate the block comment behavior if multiple lines selected
quite well solved already i guess :)
attention to detail like this is how you can tell a program is a labor of love and heavily use by its developers lol
